That's it, done. 100% confirmed. I hereby commit (whilst my knees are still able) to snowboarding at least once every 12 months for the rest of my life. I am without a doubt, hooked. Hot on the heels of 4 days snowboarding in Valmorel, it was off to Slovenia for another bought of snow based [...]

Snowboarding in Valmorel was never likely to fall under budget travel, but I'd promised myself that I would, just this once, splurge and experience a more established snow resort in the alps. I now bring to you the breakdown of said splurge. Snowboarding in Valmorel Whereas in previous years I had snowboarded in Bulgaria, Bosnia and [...]

Budget travel, its what I do. I enjoy it for the most part, the challenge of finding deals, collecting points/air miles and getting the best value for my cash monies that I can. In some senses its a game, but then on a more serious note I do need to watch just how much I [...]

A trip to Copenhagen can get expensive quickly. Whilst flights from the UK are reasonable (Easyjet or BA), a couple of nights accommodation, food, drink and maybe spot of shopping on top of a few tours all adds up. However, with that said, like most cities if you search the backstreet's, look high and low, [...]

Barcelona on a budget is certainly possible, I mean Barcelona isn't an incredibly expensive city in the first place, or at least I personally didn't find it to be during my short 3 night stay there.

This post comes to you with a massive, huge, great, enormous tip of the hat to a gent names Raffles over at www.headforpoints.com , a travel site I included in my top 10 to read in 2014. In short, Raffles and his airmiles expertise just saved me around £40.00, which is not bad for 30 [...]

Hoi An was easily my favourite stop in Vietnam, which comes as somewhere as a surprise considering that to say that I simply hate shopping would be an understatement, I absolutely, unequivocally loath shopping, and shopping, or more specifically tailoring, is where Hoi An comes into it's element. Seriously, a day spent shopping is my [...]

The cost of a week travelling around Jordan, here goes. I would love love lover to be able to travel without the worry of cash or a budget, but that is not my reality. I am fortunate to travel to some wonderful places, but whilst exploring each I am careful to watch the coffers and [...]

Snowboarding in Bosnia, that didn't quite go according to plan. Due to a lack of snow and my timing, 4 days snowboarding in the mountains surrounding Sarajevo ultimately turned into just the one day. Ah well, despite being a bit of a control freak, my powers do not extend as far as to be able [...]

How does one afford to travel? I'm not going to fob you off with lies, I don't get hundreds or even tens of emails a week asking me how I can afford to travel. Truth be told I'm lucky if I get one email. Woe is me I know! I do however get asked occasionally in [...]
